Hello my Friends.
This is my latest from Hasagawa,Lion Roar and Shipyard Models.
This was a fantastic kit to build and was a joy from start to finish.
Two days after I started this I was feeling quite unwell and to try and take my mind from it I tried to work on the kit.Well I could not grip anything and then suddenly I had to go to the toilet.In agony with diarrhoea, it was then I realised I was having an heart attack,the trouble was I could not physically stand up so I could not get to the phone.So there I am stuck on the bog trying not to pass out and trying to stand up,after about half an hour I managed to stand up and get to the phone,not thinking straight I rang my wife and told her to come home( she was only across the road at a friends),she then phoned for an ambulance and the rest is history.
All the best to you all.
Ralph.

Hi Ralph
What a frightening experience. Just glad you're through it. Hope you are now fully recovered.
As for the model - superb. The rigging must have taken a whole heap of patience and skill.

As for the rigging it took me two days and about ten hours and was a bit mind numbing but well worth it.

Ralph,
Glad you got through the heart attack safely, sadely a friend of mine recently didn't. So go easy. The fact that you can still do rigging means you're recovering well.

Nicely finished Mikasa and base.

Cheers,
Richard

And this is a relaxing hobby ! Anyway, I'm glad to read you seem better.
The ship, brilliant. It has so much life about it. Not knowing anything about ship models, how big is it ?
